USA: UNT installing six EV charging stations

The University of North Texas is installing six electric vehicle charging stations on campus.

The We Mean Green Fund is working with ECOtality Inc. (Nasdaq: ECTY) to install the new chargers.

San Francisco-based ECOtality is implementing the Department of Energy’s $230 million EV Project nationwide. The project is collecting and analyzing data on electric vehicle use, the charging infrastructure and the various models that businesses use to charge for the service.

“I’d been planning to buy an EV as my next car for a while, but I was waiting for the technology and infrastructure to grow a bit more,” said Brad Holt, a senior videographer in the Division of University Relations, Communications and Marketing. “I was curious if there were any plans in the works to install EV charging stations around campus. I learned that the idea had been tossed around, but no real plans were in the works. It was then that someone told me about the We Mean Green Fund.
